Travel time between the various airports (Geneva, Basel, Zurich) in Switzerland is about the same to


I am new to the forum and trying to take in the wealth of information and suggestions already available for my desired trip. I am hoping to narrow discount vegas hotel down my stops by finding out if my timetable is doable for all I want to see. Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated as this will be my first European trip. From what I gather we are a little discount vegas hotel late in the planning process for hotel/travel/etc. but we have just got the verification that we can make this trip happen.
Not sure how ambitious this would be for a 12-14 day trip and what kind of stops/sights we should consider along the route(?). This is a 'romantic' trip for our 10th anniversary/40th birthdays. We are fairly active and would not mind a little hiking for sightseeing, but we also ejoy relaxing and leisurely exploring out of the way places.
You will probably find that you do not have enough time to visit all destinations on your list (and certainly discount vegas hotel not other stops/sights). discount vegas hotel But it sounds like you already discount vegas hotel suspect this. I suggest you cut back on destinations and really enjoy the destinations you end up choosing. Plan on visiting the others on another trip.
Is the one night in Switzerland a must? If not, fly into Milan (Zurich/Zermatt/Como is a lot of train travel time for one night). Are you flying home from Rome? If so, put Rome at the end of your trip for your quick stop.
Travel time between the various airports (Geneva, Basel, Zurich) in Switzerland is about the same to Zermatt so you could arrive at any of them. It will take about 3 1/2-4 hours which isn't really pleasant after flying all night. Zermatt/Como travel time is 5-6 hours. That means you will spend your first two days on the trains. That is not a good start to a trip.
If this is your first trip to Europe, it is a shame to spend so much time at the beginning of your trip on trains and leave so little time for Rome. Consider flying into Milan and out of Rome and visiting Tuscany and the Amalfi Coast in between. It is still hurried for 12 nights but could be done. Try Milan to Tuscany (4 nights), Amalfi Coast (4 nights) and Rome (4 nights). discount vegas hotel Because these destinations are a bit far flung, you won't have 4 days in each but will get a taste.
Craig - I've got to agree with mamcalice: 2 or 3 years ago, DH really wanted to "see the Alps" so we (roughly) discount vegas hotel followed your original route. Regretted it (too much travel after the flight from CA not enough Alps, plus it was pouring rain - you never know!). Since then we've flown into Milan and "rested" in Bellagio for a couple of days, then gone on to Tuscany - or Venice discount vegas hotel or wherever.
I like the Milan-to-Tuscany-to Amalfi Coast (over Cinque Terre) and fly out of Rome. If you stay in the coutryside, you could pick up a rental car at Malpensa and drop it off on your way south - or just pick up drop off in Tuscany and use trains everywhere else.
